The motor was to high in the frame. There was so much ground clearance it looked like it would tip over when making turns. Took the motor out and heated and spread the frame so the motor would sit lower.
Sean went to Jefferson swap meet and bought a lot of needed parts. Tires and rims, intake manifold, headers, seats, gas tank, distributor, valve covers and elect water pump. I reworked the pivot point to the rear end swing arm. There was pillow block bearings holding the rear end to the frame. I felt it was to week. I made a hinge and used one inch round stock for the pin. welded a U-channel for support to the frame as well. I cut 12 inches off the swing arms to shorten the wheel base.
Bent and welded 1 1/4" pipe to the frame underneath the existing pipe . Welded angle to the new pipe for the coil springs and started thinking about shock placement.
